Over 700 U-Reporters replied to our first poll, with 36% of almost equal numbers of boys and girls saying self-esteem and body confidence was their top priority, closely followed by violence towards girls, with 28% of the vote split equally by boys and girls.

An overwhelming majority of U-Reporters said they believed that being a boy or girl affected their opportunities, with 77% of boys' and 80% girls' votes.

What Girl Guides and Girl Scouts told us through U-Report

Girls are thought to be weaker than boys, are more likely to experience sexual violence, dowry related abuse or be paid less for their work.

How we used the data

WAGGGS used this information from U-Reporters to focus its next poll more specifically on ways Girl Guides and Girl Scouts are working to end violence against girls to celebrate their work on International Day of the Girl, on October 11.

We also shared this information with U-Reporters and Girl Guides and Girl Scouts via social media, so don't forget to follow WAGGGS on Facebook and Twitter.
